Research Possible Career Paths
Imagine you're planning a road trip for your family to a new destination.
You need to know where you're starting and where you're going. Just
as important, you'll need to figure out what roads you'll have to
take to get there and what supplies you'll need along the way. Like
your family trip, preparing yourself for a career requires careful
thought.
Your path to a career will require some twists and turns. Although
some events may be unexpected, you can give yourself a good idea of
what to expect as you progress towards your career of choice. You'll
want to be aware of the requirements, education and training necessary
to be qualified. For example, if you are interested in architecture,
you will want to attend a college that offers a program of study for
such relevant skills as applied mathematics and drafting. Furthermore,
just as any road trip could take you down different streets, there
may be multiple paths from which to choose on the way to the career
of your dreams.

for sixteen career types, including business, health science, agriculture,
